They, Themself and Schmerm

UPCOMING WEST COAST TOUR SEPT '17

Written and performed by Becca BlackwellDirected by and developed with Ellie HeymanIn collaboration with Jill Pangallo and Jess Barbagallo

Part classic standup comedy special, part teen zine vomit confessional, They, Themself and Schmerm is Becca’s disturbingly hilarious personal tale of being adopted into a Midwestern religious family, trained to be a girl, molested, and plagued by the question, “How do I become a man and do I even want that?” Becca engages in loving confrontation with the audience, asking what it truly means to be authentic in these meat carcasses.

“It would have taken me two years of focus groups to make being molested that funny.” —Young Jean Lee
